Hall · Urban Centre
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
Every single home in Hall (L) meets the 15-minute-city test, meaning residents can reach five or more different amenity types on foot. Despite this, the area is only somewhat walkable with a score of 4.9, which is well below the territory figure of 6.9.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Hall by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score of 4.9 is well below the territory average, and the number of different amenity types within a 15-minute walk is also well below the territory figure.
4.9
Somewhat walkable of urban centre areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

Higher than 99% of urban centre areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
While almost all homes are within a short walk of a park or public transport, no one can walk to a school, grocery store, or health service. This creates a sharp contrast where parks and transport are easily accessible, but essential services are far below territory levels.

Higher than 57% of urban centre areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
